WEEKLY PREVENTION CRIME TIP - If a crime occurs Ė report it!
Everyone should consider it his/her responsibility to report crime. Many criminals target favorite areas and
have predictable methods of operation. When you report all the facts about a crime, it helps the police
assign officers in the places where crimes are occurring or where they are most likely to occur. If you donít
report crime, this allows the criminal to continue to operate without interference.
In many cases, it is the information provided by victims and witnesses that leads to the arrest of a criminal.
So tell the police as much as you can; no fact is too trivial. The police need the eyes and ears of all citizens.

Police are appealing to anyone with information regarding any crime, no matter how small or insignificant (the tip) may seem,
to anonymously call Police at 919 or CRIME STOPPERS at 328-TIPS (8477)- (New Providence) or 1-242-300-8477- (Family Islands)
